Hello

Yep, I'm hopeless at Excel but I'm not an accountant and only have to use it
once or twice a year for student marks

Anyway, I have two columns which I need to add and then divide the total by
2 to get the average

10 + 16 = 26 divided by 2 = 13

so I type in the third column

= Column A + B/2

and I get.......18

Ok, I've worked out what is going on (10+ 16/2 (8) = 18)

but  what do I do to get the right answer (13)

Thanks

Dave Neve
